Fiction

THE BET
 

Below is an alphabetical list of my favorite fiction writers. Under each writer is a list of the books of theirs that I have absolutely loved, vaguely ordered from favorite to not so favorite. Any books of theirs that are not on these lists are probably ones I have read and not liked.

Below that is a list of some of my favorite books whose authors did not make my list of favorite authors.

Please, if you think of something that you think I would like, drop me a line. I'm constantly worried that I've read all the books that I'm ever going to like.
